First whale!? 初クジラ！？

Reviewed by: みみまま

I chose this season to go on a boat to see whales, but unfortunately, I didn't spot any this time. However, I think it's great that I can try again with my boarding pass during my stay!

クジラを見たいがために、この季節を選び船に乗りましたが、残念ながら今回クジラの姿は見れませんでした。でも、滞在中乗船券でしたら再度挑戦できるので良いと思いました！！

It's seriously athletic. ガチで体育会系です

Reviewed by: たのっち

I participated in Dolphin University. Since it was the second trip (meeting at 9 AM), I didn't have to wake up early, and I was in great shape, but the atmosphere on the boat was more intense than I expected (laughs).

Even in August, it can get really cold on the boat, so please bring extra bath towels. A hoodie is a must.

Once you spot a dolphin, you need to jump into the sea immediately and swim hard, or the dolphins will swim away. You'll be kicking with your fins until your legs are sore.

If you're not a strong swimmer, it might be tough unless you train in a pool in Japan first.

My 9-year-old son ran out of energy during his second attempt out of three and rested on the boat for the third try.

On the second trip, there was no lunch on the boat, and we only received a Whopper Jr. from Burger King on the way back. It's delicious, though.

イルカ大学、参加してきました。2便（9時集合）だったので早朝から起きることもなく、体調も万全でしたが、船上は予想以上にスパルタです（笑）。

8月でも船上はホントにガタガタするくらい寒いので、バスタオルは多めに持っていってください。パーカー必須です。

イルカを見つけたら即海へ飛び込み、ガチで泳がないとイルカが遠くへ行ってしまうので、足がパンパンになるまでフィンキックします。

泳ぎの苦手な方は日本のプールでトレーニングしてからじゃないとハードかも。

9歳の息子は3回のトライのうち2回目で体力が尽き、3回目は船上で休んでました。

2便は船上ランチはなく、帰りのバスでバーガーキングのワッパージュニアを配られるだけです。美味しいけどね。

Dolphin University イルカ大学

Reviewed by: 日本人

It was truly amazing. We searched for dolphins from the boat, and as soon as we spotted them, we put on our snorkels and dove into the sea! Underwater, there was a large group of dolphins, creating a magical world! After playing a bit with the dolphins, we moved on to the next snorkeling spot… this time, there were three sea turtles! Swimming with the sea turtles was the best moment! Despite a hurricane approaching that day, the visibility was outstanding, and I don't think the conditions could have been better. While the presence of wildlife and sea conditions depend on luck, I feel like we used up all our luck this time because it was just incredible!! In the end, we all did a hula dance together, and it was so much fun! I want to participate again with my family next time.

本当に凄かったです。船上からイルカを探してイルカを発見したらすぐにシュノーケルをつけて海にダイブ！
海の中ではイルカの大群がいて幻想的な世界でした！
イルカの大群の中で少し遊んでからは次のシュノーケルポイントへ…今度はウミガメが3匹も居ました！
ウミガメとも一緒に泳げて最高の一時でした！
当日はハリケーンが来てるという中透明度もバツグンでこれ以上のコンディションは無いのじゃかいかな？というぐらい良かったです。
自然の生き物と海のコンディションは運次第だけど、今回は全ての運を使い果たしたのじゃないかな？というぐらい最高でした！！
最後はフラダンスもみんなでして楽しかったです！
今度は家族と参加したいです。

Swim with sea turtles & thrilling sailing 海亀と泳げる&スリリングなセーリング

Reviewed by: you

Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, the check-in location was close and easy to find. The reception and the crew on the boat did not understand Japanese at all, but if you know some simple English and words, you'll manage just fine.

I snorkeled freely where there were about 4 to 5 sea turtles. The turtles would come up to the surface to breathe multiple times, so I was able to take pictures up close, which made me very happy. The crew members occasionally checked in with a friendly "Are you okay?" in broken English, which was nice.

The sailing was headed towards Diamond Head, and the waves were really rough, making it feel like an attraction. However, since the waves splashed onto the boat and soaked us completely, I recommend putting important items in waterproof bags.

I went with my family of five adults, and even my mother, who didn't snorkel, was very satisfied with the sailing experience. Additionally, they provided a drink menu in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy my favorite drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean, which made me very happy!

シェラトンワイキキに宿泊していたため、受付場所も近く分かりやすかったです。受付や船の船員さんは日本語が全く通じませんが、簡単な英語と単語が分かれば何とかなります。
シュノーケルは海亀が4〜5匹いるところで自由にシュノーケルしました。海亀は何度も息つぎしに海面に上がってくるので近くで写真を撮ったりもでき、大満足でした◡̈⃝
乗務員のお兄さんたちも時折、片言ですが『だいじょぶ？』と声をかけてくれて、フレンドリーでした。

セーリングはダイヤモンドヘッド方面に向かい波がすごく荒かったので、アトラクション感覚で楽しめました。ただ、波が船の上に上がってきて、全身濡れるので、大事なものは防水の袋などにいれて持って行った方がいいと思います。

成人してる家族５人で行きましたが、シュノーケルしない母もセーリングが楽しかったと大満足でした。またドリンクメニューは日本語の紙を渡してくれたので、好きなお酒を飲みながら綺麗な海も見れて大満足でした！

I was able to see wild dolphins! 野生のイルカを見れました！

Reviewed by: Sali

In the morning, a dedicated bus came to pick us up near the hotel. From there, we traveled by boat to the location where the dolphins were. During the first two attempts, we couldn't see any dolphins, and I was worried about whether we would get to see them, but we were able to see them swimming underwater!

Due to lack of sleep and fatigue, along with the low water temperature, I ended up feeling seasick towards the end, but I’m glad I had this valuable experience.

I think it would be better to prepare some motion sickness medication if possible.

朝は専用バスがホテル近くまで迎えに来てくれました。
そこから船でイルカのいる場所まで移動。最初の二回はイルカは見えず、会えるかどうか不安でしたが無事に水中を泳ぐ姿が見れました！

寝不足と疲労、それから水温が低かった為に最後の方は船酔いしてしまいましたが、貴重な体験ができて良かったです。

酔い止めは出来れば用意した方が良いと思います。

Participating in the 11:00 departure plan. 11:00出航プランに参加

Reviewed by: 家族連れ

I participated in the 11:00 departure plan. Previously, I joined an early morning departure plan where there were many dolphins, but this time I felt there were fewer and more scattered.

Also, I participated with my 10-year-old and 7-year-old children. To see the dolphins, it's quite important to jump into the sea from the boat quickly, but since I had to take care of the kids, I didn't have much time to look under the water. In the end, I only saw the shadows of dolphins a little way off.

The Japanese female guide and the crew on the boat were all fun people, so I was very satisfied with that.

If I were to make a recommendation, it would be: 1) Participate in the earliest tour possible, and 2) Join with adults or older children only.

If you want to show small children the dolphins, I think a dolphin watching tour from the boat without snorkeling would be more enjoyable than a plan that includes snorkeling.

11:00出航プランに参加しました。以前は早朝出航のプランに参加し、イルカがたくさんいましたが、今回はまばらで数が少なかった気がします。

また、今回１０歳と７歳の子供連れで参加しました。イルカを見るためには、スピード勝負で、船から真っ先に海に飛びこむことが結構大切ですが、子供のケアをしなければならないので、海の下を覗いている余裕があまりありませんでした。結局、少しだけ遠くにイルカの魚影が影のように見えただけでした。

ガイドしてくれた日本人の女性や、船のクルーはみんな楽しい人たちばかりなので、そこは非常に満足しています。

おすすめするとすれば、①極力朝一のツアーに参加すること、②大人または大きな子供だけで参加すること、です。

もし、小さな子供にイルカを見せてあげたい！という方は、イルカとシュノーケリングするプランではなく、シュノーケリングはせずに、船の上からイルカウォッチングするツアーの方が、楽しめると思います。

40 people! Packed tightly into a small boat! 40人も！小さな船にぎゅうぎゅう詰め！

Reviewed by: ハネムーンでした

We used this service for our honeymoon. The small boat was packed with about 40 adults and around 5 instructors. No matter how much profit is at stake, that was terrible. I am a diver, and even on boats of similar size, the limit is 10 people.

There was hardly any space to sit, and of course, there were beginners in snorkeling, so when we spotted dolphins, everyone was flailing around in the water, and the dolphins quickly disappeared. It was handled in a way that made it feel like just being lucky to see them once! Therefore, I do not recommend this company for those hoping for a leisurely dolphin swim.

The camera fees were also exorbitant, with still images costing $60 and both still images and videos costing $100, which is shocking. Additionally, although it was optional, there was also a charge for the wetsuit. There was only one photographer for 40 people. When I checked the photos after returning home, despite paying a high price, I only had about 20 photos of myself. I am not satisfied with this.

I believe that if they reduced the capacity to around 20 people and added another photographer, the tour would be much better. I hope for improvements.

I was truly happy to see wild dolphins, even just once. For my next trip to Hawaii, I plan to use a different tour company.

Thank you.

今回ハネムーンで利用しました。
小さな船に大人40人とインストラクター約5人がぎゅうぎゅう詰めでした。
いくら利益の為とはいえ、あれはひどいです。私はダイバーですが、ダイビングでは同じような大きさの船でも10人が限度です。

座るところを探してもないぐらいの押込み具合で、もちろんシュノーケリング初めての方もいらっしゃいますので、イルカを見つけると、海上でバタバタし、イルカもすぐにいなくなりました。一目見れただけでラッキーだね！という捌き方なので、ゆっくりドルフィンスイムを希望の方にはこちらの会社はオススメ致しません。

カメラ撮影も高額で、静止画で60ドル、静止画&動画は100ドルと驚きの価格です。その上任意ですが、ウェットスーツ代も取られます。
カメラマンは40人に対して、1人だけです。帰国後に写真を確認すると、高額を支払ったにもかかわらず、やはり自身の写真は20枚前後です。これには納得がいきません。

定員数を20人程にし、カメラマンをもう一人増やせば、もっとよりよいツアーになると思います。改善されることを希望致します。


野生のイルカを一目でも見ることが出来たのは本当に嬉しかったです。次回のハワイ観光では他のツアー会社を利用しようと思います。

This was one of my favorite activities on my vacation. The entire team was very nice and made sure we understood what we were doing and had a good time. I really enjoyed being able to be underwater to see the fish and sea turtles without having to learn to scuba dive or deal with snorkel gear below the surface of the water.

Encountered about 60 dolphins! The passionate guide, Julie, is the best athletic club dolphin middle school!! 約60頭のイルカ先生と遭遇！ 熱血ガイドのジュリさんが最高の体育会系イルカ中学！！

Reviewed by: mskn1007

The guide mentioned that it was quite a lucky day, as we quickly discovered a pod of dolphins after we started searching. We encountered dolphins jumping out of the water and several times came across a group of dolphins, seeing about 60 of them (according to the guide)! My family was also deeply moved, making it the best experience. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling surrounded by large sea turtles and fish, feeling like we were in an aquarium. We ended with a hula dance and a group photo.

The guide was a woman named Julie, and she was fantastic. She was very funny, upbeat, and kept us laughing from the explanations in the car to the guidance on the boat. Her strong love for the ocean and dolphins was evident, making her an excellent guide. I think it would be lucky to have Julie as your guide.

One thing to take note of is that, as Julie mentioned herself, this dolphin experience is quite athletic and rigorous. It felt like, "Wait, are we jumping in already?" and the kids were a bit scared, but once we jumped in, everything turned out fine. In the end, we were all super moved, so the rigorous approach ended up being a good thing.

Overall, encountering the dolphins and having the best guide made for an incredibly fortunate tour. I highly recommend it.

ガイドさんも言っていましたが、かなりラッキーな日だったようで、探し始めてすぐにイルカ先生の群れを発見。海面をジャンプするイルカに加え、群れで及ぶイルカに何度も遭遇でき、約60頭（ガイドさん曰く）も見ることが出来ました！　家族も感動しきりで最高の体験になりました。　その後は、大きなウミガメや魚に囲まれた水族館にいるようなシュノーケリングを楽しみました。最後は皆でフラダンスと記念撮影で終了。

ジュリさんというガイドさんだったのですが、この女性がまた最高でした。とっても面白く、ノリが良くて、車内の説明から船上でのガイダンスまで笑いっぱなし。また海やイルカへの愛が強く気持ち・情熱が伝わるガイドでとても良かったです。ジュリさんに当たったらラッキーだと思います。　
一点Take Noteしたいのは、ジュリさんも自分で言っていましたが、このイルカ中学、結構体育会系でスパルタです。「え？これでもう飛び込んじゃうの？」という感じで、子供たちもビビッていましたが、いざ飛び込んだら何とかなるもの。結局超感動していたので、このスパルタも結果的には良かったです。
というわけで、イルカとの遭遇も、最高のガイドさんも、恵まれた最高のツアーでした。強くお勧めです。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

I had a great time!! とっても楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: ako

I had a great time, so I’ll share some information for those who are new or considering a snorkeling experience. I hope this helps!

- The experience takes place on the left side as you exit the beach, where two blue umbrellas are set up. I confirmed at that time that fins are available for free (are they included in the experience plan?) so you don’t need to bring your own.

- Although it wasn't mentioned in the list of things to bring, if you are prone to motion sickness, especially seasickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some medication. The boat moves quite fast in the latter part of the experience, which might be a bit scary for those who are not fond of roller coasters.

- You can bring drinks, but it’s not necessary. Drinks are available for purchase on the boat (you pay when you disembark), so if you don’t want to carry extra items, I recommend buying them on the boat.

- During snorkeling, you can see schools of fish and turtles. I was able to see the turtles come up for air a couple of times, which was really close and exciting.

Wishing you a great experience!

楽しかったことは言うまでもないので、初めての方や、シュノーケリング体験を考えている方のための情報を書き込んでいきます。参考になれば幸いです。

・体験場所は、ビーチを出て左側に、青いパラソルが2つ並んだ場所で行います。
この時確認しましたが、フィン(足ひれ)は無料(体験プランの中に料金が入ってる？)で貸してくれるとのことでした。持参しなくても大丈夫でした。

・持参するものの中に書かれていませんでしたが、もちろん乗り物酔い、特に船酔いをする可能性がある人は、酔い止めを必ず飲んだ方がいいです。体験の後半かなりのスピードで船が移動します。ジェットコースターが苦手な方には、ちょっと怖いレベルかもしれません。

・飲み物は持参しても、しなくてもかまいません。船の中で有料(降りる時に支払います)で販売しているので、荷物が増えるのが嫌な方は船で買うことをオススメします。

・シュノーケリングについては、魚の群れや亀を見ることができます。亀は2回ほど息継ぎのため上がってきて間近で見ることができました。

良い体験になることを祈っております！

The hospitality of the staff is wonderful! Of course, the dolphins are wonderful too! スタッフの方々のおもてなしが素晴らしい！　もちろんイルカも素晴らしい！

Reviewed by: くみにゃん

I was very anxious about participating with my 4-year-old child who can't swim, but the staff said, "I'll take good care of you, so you just enjoy yourself," which I was really grateful for. They held my daughter securely both in the water and on the boat, and she seemed to feel safe.

The other people were also friendly and would check in on us, creating an easy-going atmosphere where it was comfortable to ask questions.

And we encountered dolphins! At a distance of about two meters! We came across a group of about eight, and two of them swam alongside me. They looked directly into my eyes, and I looked back at them… it was an unexpected moment of eye contact! It may have been a very brief time, but it felt like we were together for a long time in the blue sea, and I will never forget that memory. It was an event that made me realize that even in middle age, there are still things that can move me so deeply.

We also met a sea turtle. It was swimming leisurely and had an impressive presence.

I recommend renting a wetsuit. The first boat departs at 7:30 AM, and the wind after getting out of the water can be quite cold. My husband, who has a bit more body fat, didn’t seem cold at all, but my child and I felt chilly even in wetsuits. Also, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication. The prestigious Dolphin University uses a double-hulled boat, so it doesn't rock much, but it's a good precaution just in case you start to feel unwell.

4歳の泳げない子どもを連れての参加でしたので、非常に不安でしたが、スタッフの方が「私がちゃんとケアするから、あなたはしっかり楽しんで」と言ってくださり、本当にありがたかったです。
実際、娘を海の中でも船の上でもしっかりと抱きかかえてくれて、娘も安心していたようです。
他の方々も、ことあるごとに声をかけてくださるし、何かあれば聞きやすいフレンドリーな雰囲気です。

そしてイルカ、出会えましたよ！　しかも２メートルくらいの至近距離で！　8頭くらいの群れと出会ったのですが、うち2頭が私と並行に泳いでくれたんです。そして私の目をじっと見て、私も彼らの目を見て…まさかのアイコンタクト！　それはとても短い時間だったのでしょうが、音が一瞬聞こえなくなり、青い海のなかでとても長い間一緒にいたような気がしました。一生忘れられない思い出です。中年になっても、こんなに感動できることがまだあったのかと思うくらいの出来事でした。

ウミガメ先生にも出会えましたよ。ゆったりと泳いでらして、すごい貫禄でした。

ウェットスーツのレンタルはおススメです。第1便だと7時半出港ですから、水から上がったあとの風はかなり冷たいです。肉付きのよい夫は全然寒くなかったようですが、私と子どもはウェットスーツを着ていても寒かったです。
それから、酔い止めのお薬の持参をおススメします。名門イルカ大学は双頭船なのでさほど揺れませんが、気分が悪くなってはもったいないので念のためのお守りです。

We had a great time as a family. 親子で楽しめました。

Reviewed by: mai

I participated with my son. Since we used it a few days before summer vacation, my son, who is 10 years old, was the only child, but both adults and children enjoyed it.

It's quite a physically demanding tour, but it's fine for kids. Even those who can't swim were able to enjoy it with the support of the staff. I was thrilled to swim with dolphins on my third attempt. The place where we first dove was astonishingly beautiful, and that alone was moving. I also got to swim with sea turtles, and we had a lot of fun with sea kayaking, slides, and stand-up paddleboarding.

My son also had a great time playing with the staff. The hamburgers were excellent.

There were a few people who got seasick, so it's essential to take motion sickness medication if you participate. Even though my son and I usually don't get seasick, we took it just in case, and I think that was the right decision.

I purchased photos for $65 on a USB. If you download them, it's $60. There are about 500 photos from the entire tour that day.

息子と2人で参加しました。夏休みの数日前に利用したためか、子どもは10才のうちの息子のみでしたが、大人も子どもも楽しめました。

けっこう体力がいるツアーですが、子どもでも大丈夫。泳げない方もスタッフの方のフォローで楽しんでました。３回目のチャレンジでイルカと泳げて感激しました。始めにダイブした場所は海が驚くほどキレイで、それだけでも感動。海亀とも泳げて、シーカヤックやスライダー、サップもできてホントに楽しかったです。

息子もスタッフの方に沢山遊んでもらって良かったです。ハンバーガーも絶品でした。

船酔いでダウンの方も数名いらっしゃったので、参加の際は酔い止めは必須です。普段は酔わない私達親子も念のため飲んで行きましたが、正解だったと思います。

写真は65ドルでUSBを購入しました。ダウンロードだと60ドルです。その日のツアー全体の写真が500枚くらいになります。

カハラホテル＆リゾート　ドルフィン・クエスト　イルカとの触れ合い体験プログラム！

I was really very disappointed. 本当にとてもガッカリしてしまいました。

Reviewed by: Disappointed

Participation of a 5-year-old boy alone

I read in other people's experiences that it was okay not to understand English, but in our case, we were in a group of five (four of whom were children from English-speaking countries), and there was no particular support, which made my son feel quite isolated. The instructor initially taught us about the size of the dolphins, but since we couldn't understand the words, we waited for what felt like thirty minutes for the explanation to finish. At one point, my son had a gloomy expression and said, "I don't understand what they're saying, so this isn't fun at all." I regretted participating in this program.

After that, we finally entered the pool and had a photo session with the dolphins, but compared to the other four, my son clearly had fewer poses. For example, we took turns kissing the dolphin for photos, but my son's turn was skipped. When it came to swimming with the dolphin for photos, he was skipped again. And when it was time to feed the dolphin for photos, he was skipped once more. I seriously wondered if this was some form of discrimination.

Still, I held onto a faint hope that they might take photos of him later, but as expected, my wish was not fulfilled until the end. He was skipped so many times that I thought about going to the reception to ask for photos, but by the time I circled the pool, the program had ended. I couldn't bring myself to ask to go back into the pool for photos again, so I gave up, but I felt regret and tears came to my eyes.

It seemed like he was ignored because he couldn't speak English.

Later, when we were choosing the photos to purchase, none of the poses I had initially requested were available, and there wasn't a single good photo, which was disappointing. I regretted coming all this way and paying a high price for the photos. I managed to buy a few photos, but every time I look at them, I feel sad, so I’ve put them away.

I apologize for the lengthy message, but if your child is going to participate, I wouldn’t recommend it unless they are fluent in English like a native speaker. I think it would be fine for adults.

５歳男子一人参加

他の方の体験談に、英語がわからなくても大丈夫と書いてありましたが、
うちの場合は5人グループ(うち4人は英語圏の子供達)で、
特にフォローもなく疎外感がかなり強かったみたいです。
インストラクターの方が、最初にイルカの大きさなどを教えてくれましたが
言葉がわからず、数十分(恐らく30分程度？)ひたすら説明が終わるのを待っていました。途中「何を言ってるかわからないから、ちっとも楽しくないね。」と暗い顔をしていたのでこのプログラムに参加したことを後悔しました。

そのあといよいよプールに入って、イルカと撮影をしてくれましたが、
他の4人と比べて明らかにポーズが少なかったです。
例えば順番ずつイルカにキスをする写真を撮るのですが、息子の番だけスキップされました。
順にイルカと泳ぎ写真を撮る、息子だけスキップ。
順にイルカに餌をあげる写真を撮る、息子だけスキップ。
これは人種差別なのか？と割と真剣に悩みました笑

それでも後から撮ってくれるかもと淡い期待をいだいておりましたが、
予想通り最後まで願いが叶うことはありませんでした。
あまりにスキップされるので、受付に写真を撮って欲しいと言いに行こうと思いプールをぐるりと周っている間にプログラムが終了しました。
まさかもう一度プールに入って写真を撮ってくれなんて言えませんでしたので諦めましたが、悔しくて少し涙が出ました笑

息子が英語が話せないから、存在を無視されていたようでした。

あとから購入する写真を選ぶのですが、最初に希望を伝えていたポーズも無く、良いものが一枚もなかったので落胆しました。
高いお金を払って写真を撮ってもらいに来たのに、と後悔しました。
なんとか写真を数枚購入しましたが見るたびに悲しい気持ちになるので、しまいこんでいます。

長くなりましたが、お子様が参加されるのであれば英語がネイティブ並みに堪能でないとおすすめしません。大人なら大丈夫だと思います。

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

It was beyond what I expected! 思った以上でした！

Reviewed by: まぁたん

I participated in the premium Japanese guided tour from 10 AM with my 2-year-old child.

I had assumed the guide would be Japanese, but it turned out to be Jim, a tall Westerner who had previously lived in Japan and spoke very fluent Japanese. He was a gentleman with a kind personality, attentive to details, and very friendly towards children.

I joined this tour because I wanted to show my child the underwater world, so I didn't have high expectations for the tour itself based on the reviews. However, it was fun to see artificial reefs and sea turtles up close. I believe this was largely thanks to Jim's detailed explanations. As a licensed scuba diver, Jim had impressive knowledge, and his explanations were very thorough and enjoyable!

When I visit Hawaii next time, I definitely want to join this tour again, specifically hoping to have Jim as our guide. Thank you, Jim!

If you want to enjoy Jim's explanations on this tour, I recommend going down the stairs from the entrance on the right side when boarding the submarine to sit in the front row. You can also see the control seat and sit close to the guide, which is a great option!

10時〜のプレミアムの日本語ガイドツアーに2歳児を連れて参加しました。　

てっきり日本人ガイドかと思いきや、ジムさんという長身の欧米人で、以前に日本に住まわれていた、とても上手な日本語を話される方でした。お人柄も紳士的で、細やかな気遣いをされる、子どもにも優しいとても素敵な方でした。

今回、子どもに海の中を見せてあげたく参加したので、口コミを見てツアー自体にはあまり期待はしていなかったのてすが、人工魚礁やウミガメを間近で見られて楽しかったです。それもやはりガイドのジムさんの細やかな解説のお陰かと思います。ジムさんはスキューバダイビングのライセンス保有者なので流石の知識量で、解説がとても細やかで楽しかったです！
　
次にハワイを訪れる際も、またこちらのツアーを是非ジムさん目当てで参加させて頂きたいと思います。ジムさん、ありがとうございました。

もし、このツアーでジムさんの解説を楽しみたいのであれば、潜水艦に乗り込むときに向かって右の入り口から階段を降りると先頭の席に座れます。操縦席も見られ、ガイドさんの近くに座れるのでオススメですよ☆

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

A fulfilling tour♡ 満喫のツアー♡

Reviewed by: ike

The weather was great, and the waves were calm, so as soon as we set sail, we encountered a large pod of dolphins! It was amazing to see dolphins coming from both directions! After that, we went snorkeling at a sea turtle spot, where we saw about four or five sea turtles, and our guide took some wonderful photos for us! The hamburger we had at the end was really delicious. The guides were all cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable and fulfilling tour!

お天気も良く、波も少ない日で、出航してすぐ沢山のイルカの群れに会えました！あっちからもこっちからもイルカがきて感動しました！その後ウミガメのスポットでシュノーケリング、ウミガメも4、5匹いて、ガイドさんが素敵な写真を撮ってくれました！最後に食べたハンバーガーはとっても美味しかったです。ガイドさん達はみんな明るく、とても楽しくて、充実したツアーでした！

I was glad to be able to make a late-night boarding reservation! 遅い時間の乗船予約ができて助かった！

Reviewed by: kat

This tour is greatly enjoyed by my third-grade child. We booked the submarine tour here for the second time, following last year. The deciding factor was that they offered late boarding times. In Hawaii, there are plenty of activities, allowing you to schedule various tours in one day. On this day, we had a packed itinerary, enjoying snorkeling at Hanauma Bay after climbing Diamond Head for sunrise, followed by the submarine tour. As far as I searched, the only option for a 3 PM boarding reservation (confirmed the next day after the request) was through VELTRA, which allowed us to have a fulfilling day. The issuance of the reservation confirmation and the transportation service are comparable to other companies, so I highly recommend it. There is a Japanese audio guide available on board, so there’s no need to worry.

小3の子供が大変気に入っているツアーです。昨年に続き、2度目の潜水艇乗船をこちらで予約しました。決め手になったのは、遅い時間の乗船予約が可能だったからです。ハワイでは、アクティビティが充実しているので1日に様々なツアーを組むことができ、この日もダイヤモンドヘッド日の出登頂後にハナウマ湾でシュノーケルを楽しんだ後の潜水艇ツアーと盛り沢山な内容でした。検索した限り、15時の乗船予約(リクエスト後、翌日に確定)はVELTRAさんだけでしたので、おかげで充実した1日を過ごすことができました。予約確定書の発行や送迎も他社ツアーと遜色ないので大変オススメです。艇内ではイヤホンによる日本語ガイドがあるので特に心配不要です。

Active snorkeling!! アクティブなシュノーケル！！

Reviewed by: ゆかちん

I joined this tour because I wanted to swim with dolphins! It was completely different from any snorkeling I've done before and required a lot of physical effort! But that's the purpose of the tour, to swim with dolphins! I swam with all my might to be with the dolphins☆ I was very tired, but I was able to swim with many dolphins and even encountered a turtle, creating wonderful memories♪ The spam onigiri I had on the boat was really delicious (^_^)

イルカと泳ぎたくてこのツアーに参加しました！今まで参加したシュノーケルとは全然違ってとても体力のいるツアーです！でもこれはツアーの目的であるイルカと泳ぐため！イルカと泳ぎたくて全力で泳ぎました☆とっても疲れましたがたくさんのイルカと泳ぐことができ、また亀にも遭遇してとても楽しい思い出ができました♪船の上で食べたスパムおにぎりがとっても美味しかったです(^_^)

A bit disappointing! ちょっと残念！

Reviewed by: 4人ファミリー

I'm glad I was able to see the dolphins, but I felt that the time spent on other activities (like the staff's performance) was a bit wasted compared to the time swimming with the dolphins. I think it would have been better to visit a few more spots to increase the time spent swimming with the dolphins.

イルカは見ることができて良かったのですが、イルカと泳げた時間に対して、それ以外（スタッフさんのパフォーマンス等）の時間が勿体なかったかな？何ヵ所かポイントを回ってイルカと泳ぐ時間を増やす方が良かったと思います。

I encountered a sea turtle! ♪ ウミガメに出会えた♪

Reviewed by: MYR

We participated in a tour with my grandmother in her 70s and my 6-year-old daughter, spanning three generations. I was worried about my grandmother using the ladder to board the submarine, but she was able to get on and off without any issues. There was a Japanese-speaking guide, which allowed both my grandmother and daughter to enjoy the experience across a wide age range. My daughter wanted to see a stingray, and I wanted to see a sea turtle, and we were both very satisfied as our wishes came true.

70代の祖母、6歳の娘と3世代でツアーに参加。祖母が潜水艦に乗り込む際のタラップが不安でしたが問題なく乗り降りできました。日本語でのガイドもあり祖母も娘も幅広い年代で楽しむことができました。娘はエイ、私はウミガメを見たかったのですがそれぞれの願いが叶い大満足でした。

Reviewed by: mmm

It might require quite a bit of stamina. I think it would be tough if you're not used to exercising. However, I forget my fatigue and desperately chase after the dolphins. The tiredness hits me later (laughs). I was a bit distant from the dolphins, but it was an emotional experience.

結構体力が必要かも？普段から運動していないときついと思います。だけど、疲れていることを忘れ必死にイルカを追っかけますので。あとで疲れが来ます(笑)
イルカとはある程度距離がありましたが、感動しました。

This tour was simply AWESOME.
Pod of dolphins on arrival at the reef, initially 3 turtles, but shortly joined by another 2.
An experience of a lifetime and undoubtedly a highlight of our trip.
Crew were brilliant, friendly, helpful and 'down to earth' making it an overall experience well worth doing.
